  "A picture is worth a thousand words." Using drawings can help you explain your thinking when solving a problem.
 

Example 1: How many 6s are in 30?


1/6 of 30=5


       
  


          6             12          18           24             30

 Example 2: Are these fraction equivalent?

1/4=1/8
 

2/4=1/2

                     
               2/4                          1/2

3/6=1/2

 

                      
                   3/6                                      1/2
 

Pictures will help you better explain your solution to a problem.
